When Ed Orgeron took over as LSU’s permanent head football coach on November 26, 2016, he made a promise that nearly every new head coach makes.
During Orgeron’s introductory press conference, he made it clear that his goal was to “build a championship program fast, very fast”.
Coach O also told reporters he believed LSU could compete for a SEC championship “very fast”.
Coach O: “My goal is to build a championship program fast, very fast.” #LSU
